Luke O'Connor has never turned down a dare. Ever. But that was before his last deployment left the charming playboy a shell of his former self. Now he just wants to be left alone - no hookups, no relationships.
Single mother and the CEO of New Orleans' hottest lingerie boutique, Anna Bryce has it all - except that a business can't keep her warm at night. She's determined to find Mr. Right, but can't fight her attraction to Mr. All Wrong, the wounded veteran who says he's not into her.
I dare you to kiss me, she said.
I dare you to love me.
All Luke has to do is resist her dare - but for the first time in his life, he's betting on losing.

It features quirky characters, a matchmaking dare to end all dares, one hilarious teen and an equally hilarious dog named Sassy, and sexy-times that will melt your kindle.

About the Author
Maria is a big fan of books, nature, dogs, and pretty things - not always in that order, though.
By day, Maria is a historian who specializes in 19th century New Orleans and 14th century London. What do the two eras have in common? Not much, except for disease, scandal, and crime - Maria's favorite historical topics. (For real, if you want to talk any of the above, just reach out!)
When not digging through the archives, Maria writes romances about strong men and the sassy women who sweep them off their feet.
Her favorite book will always be "Scandal in Spring" by Lisa Kleypas - she's worn the pages so much by re-reading it, but will never give it up.
She loves hearing from readers, so feel free to reach out :)

I have a confession to make. (Yes, I read an advance copy, but that’s not it.) Truth is, I was already in love with Luke and Anna from the previous books, but Luke and Anna’s together? They will own my heart forever! ❤ Their story is so fantastic I never wanted it to end, which explains how it’s possible to be both happy and sad after reading the last sentence. With her patented sass, sarcasm and sense of humor, Ms. Luis somehow manages to one-up herself with her best work yet! Not only do we get to revisit Shaelyn, Brady, Jade and Danvers, we get a loveable Great Dane and a big, endearing dose of a teenage Julian who’s even more smart mouthed and hilarious than ever.
The journey to Anna and Luke’s happily ever after is the most fun I’ve had in I don’t know how long! The dates Anna goes on as a result of her daring Luke to find her Mr. Right are side splitting, laugh-out-loud hysterical, and the book is worth reading just for those scenes. But then there are the more serious moments as they work through the issues keeping them apart that are so realistic and spot on, these two manage to work their way even deeper into the reader’s heart. And after the most tense, dangerous scene in the book that ends with the Luke and Anna’s epic, moving declaration of love, in jumps Danvers with the comic relief. The perfect construction of that scene, and throughout the book, is pure genius from a supremely talented writer. Ms. Luis writes with the voice of a seasoned author, with a gift for comedic timing that would make Carol Burnett and Melissa McCarthy proud. While I believe this is her best book to date, any book by Ms. Luis is a delightful, entertaining, feel-good romp, and you’re truly missing out if you don’t read her work!
Luke’s sweet & easy relationship with Julian was so special…as seen in their embrace. There’s just something about a man embracing the woman’s child…but when that child is a teenage boy, I don’t know why it’s I much more.
I absolutely adored Luke & Anna’s story…& I’m about to jump right on Julian’s short story!!
Luke and Anna were so fun! Their push and pull as he worked through his feelings for her 🥰🥰
And the way he took Julian under his wing and became a father figure to him is equally as amazing as him and Anna finding their way ❤️❤️❤️
Injured and recently honorable Army discharged Luke is like a Christmas present wrapped in Halloween candy..I had so much excitement for this prickly but sassy (pun intended) man. And Anna, that woman is strong. I loved Jade's drive but Anna is a strong, confident woman once she sets her sights on Luke. Their banter and dry humor exchanges had me smiling, the few face palms at misunderstandings were cleverly cleared up, and their love for Julian shined through each page! My favorite part was when the boys (Brady, Danvers, and Luke) were together, especially at the end. This trio of men will have you rolling in laughter as they tease as only three best friends can. Shaelyn and Jade both make appearances, which is nice to see where they're at too in life!
Anna is looking for love and unfortunately ends up in a horrific date; clarification, horrific for her but hilarious for the reader. Luke, a man she recently met and plowed over in a herb shop, sits down to try and cheer her up some. They strike a dare to each find Anna three dates each in her quest for love for her and her 14 year old son, Julian. As the pair continue, the chemistry between them reaches boiling heights, but Luke isn't looking for a relationship, and Anna is looking for life lasting love.. throw a smart alec teen, a great Dane named Sassy, and some old NOLA favorites in the mix and you will not be disappointed with this third installment of the NOLA series!!
This is my honest review of a voluntarily read ARC from the author that I had to one click it was so good!!
